Dotfiles are managed via GNU Stow – the "symlink farm manager". Its largest benefit is seamless integration with VCS that allows one to set it up once and reach only for the git commit/push command if there's a need to change configuration. That's it, once it's configured it just works.
Initializing symlinks is dead simple:
git clone [email protected]:bratushkadan/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles && cd ~/dotfilesstow .
- git
- stow (included in this repo's Brewfile)
Once stow . has been run, Lazy plugin manager (:Lazy in nvim) will automatically download all the listed dependencies nvim dependencies.
Update plugins via Lazy:
:Lazy updateMason (:Mason) dependencies will be installed automatically as well.
NOTE: Terraform language server download will fail, as files are fetched from Hashicorp's CDN.
Describe here the plugin update/installation process.
brew install ripgrep - DO NOT install fd simultaneously with rg, precedence seems to be fd > rg, Telescope bugs out and pickers.find_files.hidden = true option no longer shows hidden files/directories :(
